CBC:
Quebec has been fighting to hang on to the data, but the federal government has refused to agree to the request.Dutil said Quebec will take the federal government to court once the legislation has been passed and becomes law, but he refused to specify what kind of legal action that would be.
He said if Quebec wins and is able to get the data from the federal registry, a bill would be introduced in the national assembly to create Quebec's own registry.
I guess that things must be pretty flush in Quebec these days if they can justify squandering taxpayers' dollars on already-obsolete (and none-too-accurate in the first place) data. If they want to clutch that tar-baby of a useless bureaucracy then I suppose that there's no stopping them. Nice that they've got the money to spare -- Alberta can celebrate too, by deducting the costs from their transfer payments.
